re:Scan Extension

re:Scan is a resume scanner that takes in a resume and parses through it for keywords. It then parses through a web page's job description with the click of a button and provides a general summary that includes a similarity score, keyword comparisons, and suggestions. The parsed resume persists through multiple clicks, so there is no need to upload a new resume every time one wants to compare their resume to a job description. While the extension is geared towards helping job-seekers, it is also useful for recruiters who are curious about an applicant's resume's fit.

Ben Dippelsman (ID: 00000045062bb9c5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/01/2016 The similarity score is kind of neat, and it's nice to know which keywords show up most often bewteen two docs. The suggested keywords seem a little generic though.
